Opatool help sometings not right

ok

now click add...

type following in command name :

Take Ownership

type following in program path :

cmd.exe /c takeown /f "%1" && icacls "%1" /grant administrators:F

and select "...all extensions"

then click next

that shoud do the trick

try it out

ps: u will need to do this for .wsc aswell

 

don't delete open notepad !!!!

click edit :

enter following in command name :

Open

enter following in program path :

"C:\Windows\System32\WScript.exe" "%1" %*

click next

now you will see this :

"Microsoft @Windows based script host

this gives you the windows based popups needed for opatools.

 

so did it work ?

i'll give the layout again (should look like this) :

 

so you have open with command prompt set as
"Microsoft @ Console based script host"

and open as "Microsoft @ Windows based script host"


so for .wsc this :




and for .wsf this :

 

could be, but doens't seem likely.

do you have "open with command prompt" set as default for .wsf

and "Generic Type Library" set as default for .wsc ?

 

it doens't save ? are you logged in on an administrator account ?

can you show me what you've got now for .wsf ?

 

I know for a fact that this is where your problem lies and that it should work when open is set as default as windows based scripting host.
Then it opens those nice window-based popups instead of notepad.

Can't get my mind around the fact that it doens't work for you.
Something got messed up in your .wsf .wsc .wsh settings.
Could be malware, but i'm betting it's not...

Let me know how it progresses. If needed we'll go through the whole procedure again.

 

take your time, i'm just watching a flick anyways

 

you're welcome. normally the "wscript H:wscript" command is sufficient, but as that don't work for you, you need to dig deeper. Question is, is it worth the time and effort, cause exept for some command line based tools like opatool, you'll hardly need it (unless you write scripts every day).

we could try again from page 1 tomorrow, if you feel like it.

nevertheless, it was my pleasure, too bad it isn't solved allready...

 

nope.

.wsf and .wsh have to be windows based script host.

 

try choosing "different program" (above right)

and navigate to c:\windows\system32\wscript.exe

and set that as default program for .wsf and .wsh

 

that's normal when applying through the controlpanel applet.
just apply that to .wsf and .wsh

now windows should, and i say should, open scripts in window poppups instead of notepad.
